Pros

There aren't many but the one thing I can think of is the ability to work remotely.

Cons

LONG STORY SHORT Extremely untrustworthy overall. In fact, I wasn't paid for my final weeks at the company after having spent MULTIPLE 60 hour weeks building a product for the team. Poor pay and worse benefits. Title obsessed culture. One junior developer was actually named "Lead Skunkworks Developer" in a sad attempt to inspire loyalty. LONG STORY LONG I was brought on to work under the Lead Software Engineer, only to find out, during the interview, that HE would quitting because of the bad atmosphere. Against my better judgement, I took a job with them and found that not only had the Lead Software Engineer quit, so had the previous CTO (who was also the Co-Founder of the company). During my time there, not only did the other Software Engineer quit because of poor treatment, so did many other team members in the field. I attempted many times to work with the management to implement simple systems like TDD and QA/QC checks to prevent errors and improve overall work only to have my suggestions ignored. Additionally, most employees are extremely underpaid relative to the rest of the market. This is supposedly offset with "stock options" with over 4 years with a 1-year cliff. However, most employees are quitting or "terminated" before they can even reach their 1 year mark to collect anything. Watch out for that. Most of the leadership lack professionalism and expect their employees to work overtime to make up for management mistakes. There is an overall need to get A product out the door as opposed to getting THE product right. There's also a huge obsession with appearing to be a successful company as opposed to actually being one.

Pros

Great office, environment, benefits, and challenges. Very passionate consulting teams at EI. There are definitely some growing pains as a new upcoming company, but the business objectives are ambitious and disruptive.

Cons

Still a growing company with many growing pains. Can definitely be considered more as a career springboard than anything. Employees are definitely given a lot more on their plate and have to work longer hours.

Pros

Ability to work remotely. Ability to travel. Company is a global leader in plant digitization. Health care reimbursement program. Culture is upbeat and inclusive. The people are warm and welcome. The company is always focused on finding a better way to serve its customers. High energy, tech-focused.

Cons

No company provided benefits (401K, health care, etc…). The company is a contractor, so job security is based on company sales performance. Constant travel for project personnel. Small company, so roles and responsibilities tend to overlap across positions.
